Quests

Quests are random occurrences that can range from escorts, deliveries to chasing pirates and repairing stasis pods. Quests usually pay better than normal battles and require you to jump to a new location.

This quest requires a certain degree of luck to complete. Upon finding a damaged stasis pod, it is fitted as an augment that can be sold for 15 scrap or repaired (Adds a unique crew member) when you are offered to be studied by some scientists (Choose the option to let them examine the pod). This is a rewarding quest as you get a crew mate with an ability (Lock-down: blocks access to or from a room) and a new cruiser is unlocked.

There are three distinct steps involved with the quest and the sector map must have a red or green (pirate/rock/engi) with distress beacons followed by a green (engi/zoltan sector or homeworld) with normal beacons then a red (rock homeworld). If the sector map doesn't contain the proper sequence, the quest will never happen and a restart is needed.

Pick up the stasis pod from distress beacon at a pirate/rock/engi sector.

Find Zoltan scientists at a normal beacon to repair the pod (Random encounter from a engi/zoltan sector)
